what playable stuff are you hoping for?

Will there be ritual magic in the rpg, by this I'm not referencing thaumaturgy but rather the rituals referenced in blood rites.

They'll be handled by the same system, essentially; we do cover it (the magic chapter in its current form is HUGE).
rickayelm:
In the books if you touch a denarian coin but choose not to take it up there is still a mystical effect on you. How will this be covered in the game? Could you play an emmisary of power that is empowered by the shadow of the denarian like Harry with his access to hellfire? How would such a shadow effect a mortal or lesser spellcaster?
Also what are the descendants of a changeling like? Could I for example make a minor talent with glamour or another fae power? Could I play the grandchild of one of the siddhe who has the sight and seelie magic using the focussed practitioner template?
In the books wizards live for a long time, is this covered in the rpg? If it is covered is it limited to wizards or can the lesser spellcasters gain a longer than human life span as well?

We at least touch on it. Fallen Angels don't come with an operator's manual, so it's sort of hard to say what might come of it. We give the GM plenty of tools as a way in which she COULD implement the effects.

Sure, why not!

In the RPG we offer a (zero point) power for wizards to represent this, but really, it's the sort of thing that could be added to any template where long life is an expectation. But long life doesn't really play out in a conflict-relevant way in an RPG -- it's sort of a boring power, right? -- so we don't make a big deal of it.

In the minor talent template it says that you can take one refresh 1 or 2 supernatural power. What kind of things are possible with refresh 1 or 2 powers?
